I found this cigar to be quite pleasant. Flavourwise it wasnt the most complex of cigars having notes of wood and cream which was pretty consistent throughout.
A nice, after dinner stroll smoke.

I reckon that as far as this vitola is concerned this stick is a steal.
For this smoker Joya will remain a template of Nicaraguan taste profile and this is simlarly milky, light and enjoyable; Davidoffs delicious but overpriced offering be damned.
Draw is quite loose and it might not be as well packed as some slightly pricier cigars but burn was even in this case, smoke flavoursome, though given a tad uneven filling I wouldnt be surprised if some required more work than others.
Ash dropped naturally an inch in and never faltered.
Its a big, nice, mellow cigar without much depth, sure, but really pleasant and worth the price.

Smoked this cigar on a Friday night after a stressful week at work, the cigar had been left to rest for a good 4 weeks in the humidor. Being one of the cheap cigars in my collection i hadnt bothered with it but what a surprise i had when i lit her up! The cigar burned perfectly, no doubt about it. A beautiful Oaky aroma with a mild taste of coffee and the draw was just right. With the cigar being so light id say it would be a great beginners cigar and an excellent daily smoke. 100% buying some more.

Quintero Petit Quintero Cigar - 1 Single

Lovely cigar and stockingly good value. Mild and flavorsome, I will certainly be buying again.
Not a complex cigar but at this size and price is certainly punching above its weight.

After reading other reviews I was very carefull with this stogie.
Still after 2 minutes the wraper began to flake and unfold.
The burn became uneven several times aftr 20 minutes.
That said it had a good draw and pleasant flavour, I might buy again on those grounds and the low price

Quintero Favoritos Cigar - 1 Single
by Simon
A Cuban robusto for a little over a tenner, where’s the catch?
Price is not something i think about much when buying a cigar, as I am an infrequent smoker, but although I have old favourites, I like to work my way through a good variety of cigars. Robusto is my favoured size, as it gives a cool easy draw and much of the flavour associated with the larger vitolas, in a more compact smoke.
So this was one I’d wanted to try for some time, but as with most cigars, a little humidor time can often help bring out the best.
Construction is average, but that’s not a criticism, as it’s more than adequate, with quite veiny leaves used in the wrapper and a few minor discolourations. The cap is well attached and you’re not going to get any unravelling from making a big cut. Colour is a nut brown and the aroma unlit is of cedar and earth. To the touch this is a slightly spongy cigar, which i felt may be indicative of a loose construction and less tobacco leaves used, so essentially built to a price.
It lit easily and first impressions were of ceadar, leather and maybe a slight nut
